Hi all,
Couple of hopefully small questions:
1) Are the directories "." and ".." really part of the filesystem under Windows? They get reported by ExamineDirectory with a pattern of "*.*", it just seemed a little weird (I thought they were just symbolic names to mean current directory and parent directory).
2) Anyone got a document that explains how to construct *proper* wildcards for Windows? The Win32 help file (FindFirstFile_()) and Google turned out to be useless. By proper I mean something like searching for multiple extensions (e.g. "*.htm|*.chm", except that doesn't work
or anything more flexible than just * and ? by themselves. Thanks.
Update: I also found that the line 'If ExamineDirectory(0, pathname, "*.htm")' matches files with .html extensions. Does Windows perform pattern matching against both long and short names at the same time?
